Lettuce and Kanikama Salad with Sesame Dressing
This quick and easy salad, featuring crisp lettuce and kanikama (imitation crab), is tossed in a tasty soy-sesame dressing—a perfect, refreshing side for lunch or dinner!
Ingredients
Instructions
- Prep the Ingredients: Wash the lettuce thoroughly and dry it well using a salad spinner or paper towels. Tear into bite-sized pieces. Pull apart the kanikama into thin strips.
- Make the Dressing: Combine all the dressing ingredients in a small jar with a lid. Shake well until fully blended.
- Toss the Salad: In a large mixing bowl, add the lettuce and kanikama. Drizzle a few tablespoons of the dressing over the salad and toss gently until the salad is evenly coated.
- Serve: Transfer the salad to a serving plate. Add extra dressing or a sprinkle of sesame seeds on top. Enjoy!
Notes
- Substitutions: You can replace rice vinegar with a mild vinegar or a splash of lemon juice. For honey, use sugar, maple syrup, or omit it for a low-sugar option.
- Keep the lettuce and dressing separate until just before serving to keep the salad fresh.
- Add a little dressing at a time—you can always add more, but you can’t take it out!
- To make it more filling, toss in boiled eggs, edamame, or tofu.
